Wan-Bissaka names his toughest opponent at Man Utd

Aaron Wan-Bissaka says Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar is the toughest opponent he’s faced.

The Manchester United full-back came up against the 29-year-old twice in the Champions League group stages this season.

Wan-Bissaka kept Neymar quiet in the first fixture in Paris, but the Brazilian scored twice at Old Trafford.

“I’d say Neymar,” Wan-Bissaka told UEFA.com, when asked who his toughest opponent has been.

“That was a player that was quite challenging, but I was always up for it, and I enjoyed it, the experience, to be playing against him. That meant a lot.”

“I think for him, it’s a bit of both, depending on where he is on the pitch,” he added.

“He’s a player that likes to draw fouls, and so for me, if I’m up against him, it’s [the task is] just not to give him any fouls because that’s what he wants.”

Wan-Bisska also impressed in United’s 2-0 win over Manchester City, limiting Raheem Sterling to minimal opportunities

“Defenders are most likely [to be] targeted on the pitch, to be taken on,” he added.

“That comes down to concentration, awareness, and it’s something you have to be prepared for the whole 90 minutes.

“For me, I mainly look at what foot they are. That will be the main information that I’ll need, and it’s just about timing, showing them onto their weaker side and then taking it from there.

“Concentration [is key]. It’s not always about diving in; it’s to wait for their move rather than me making the first move.”
